Here we go:
1. Vileplume
This was the first house we went to, and I won’t lie to you…I was terrified. They warned us about the chanting and singing, but there’s really no way to prepare yourself for that, haha. The girl I talked to was really nice, but it seemed like she was trying really hard to sell the sorority to me instead of getting to know me. They were the newest chapter and she actually said at one point that they were just looking for lots of new members, which kinda turned me off to them a little. I definitely did like this house overall though and could maybe see myself fitting in here.
2. Pikachu
These girls were SOOOO loud. I loved it! I talked to two girls in this house and they were both nice and we talked about things other than sorority stuff, which was a much appreciated break. While I was talking to the second girl her pearl necklace broke and scattered all over the floor – I felt so bad! Overall, I really liked Pikachu.
3. Moltres
I talked to three really awesome girls here. We had conversation beyond the sorority and really clicked with quite a few girls. I guess a lot of people had dud conversations here, but I really enjoyed this party.
4. Zapdos
The girl I talked to at this house was so nervous (I could tell and she mentioned it more than once). She was incredibly sweet though and wouldn’t stop complimenting my accessories. We both had the same major (not uncommon at my school, though) so we had things to talk about. The girls I talked to here were sweet and I wouldn’t mind coming back, but it wasn’t one of my favorites.
5. Rapidash
This house has a really bad reputation on campus (according to the other PNMs I talked to – tent talk, I know, but sometimes you can’t escape) so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. I don’t know what the other girls were talking about, but I had a nice time here. The girls were so sweet and seemed to genuinely care about their sisterhood, and the rumors seemed stupid. Didn’t really feel too much of a connection, but everyone was very nice and I wouldn’t mind coming back.
6. Snorlax
These girls wore adorable flowers in their hair, and it was so cute. I felt like the conversation lagged a little bit and my rusher just rambled on about random stories, and sometimes it was a little hard to follow. When she started talking about the philanthropies I really started to connect. She seemed genuinely connected to her house and had a lot of affection towards her sisters, and Snorlax is definitely one of my favorites after first round.
7. Mew
This house was so loud and I talked to two VERY quiet girls. I couldn’t hear basically anything they said and I didn’t really have a good time at this party. I felt so bad having to say “I’m sorry, what?” after every sentence.
8. Eevee
The first thing I noticed was that this was one of the prettiest houses on campus. So gorgeous! I talked to two really nice girls here, and the second girl and I joked around about our cell phone carrier and how much it sucked – it was a good conversation. However, I didn’t have a rec here and with so many girls honestly I didn’t expect to get asked back. I was a little sad because I really liked Eevee.
9. Dragonite
I loved this house so much. I talked to three or four girls and clicked with every single one – the house was gorgeous and they all seemed so excited about their sisterhood and philanthropies. I felt like I could definitely fit in here.
10. Magikarp
Loved Magikarp. Straight up. The house was gorgeous, the sisters were so sweet and (I thought) we had very genuine conversations. Really, really hoped to go back to Magikarp.
11. Squirtle
I absolutely out of my mind fell in love with this house. The house was gorgeous, the girls were dressed up more than the other chapters which I thought was very classy, and I had wonderful conversations with all of them. This was the house that exceeded in academics which was also very important to me, so I really, really, really hoped to go back here. It was definitely my favorite of round one.
12. Alakazam
Wasn’t a big fan of this house. It was only my second house and they all seemed tired and uninterested in what I had to say – all 6 of the girls I talked to. There was really no connection, especially with the girls being bumped so fast and I could not see myself fitting in here at all. This was my least favorite.
13. Charizard
These girls were very sweet and we had some hilarious conversations. All I remember from this house is liking it a lot.
14. Articuno
This house was absolutely GORGEOUS! I was paired with a girl I didn’t match with so well, but the second girl I talked to seemed nicer and more suited to me. It was a good party, but not great.
